Astrology

Things are changing of their own volition — but if you step up and take an active role in the process, you'll definitely prefer your outcomes. Let go of attachments that bind you, even if you are scared.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Soupy emotions and worried thinking threaten to screw up everything for you, pal. Pull "what if?" out of your thinking. Take responsibility for your present and plot your next steps based on your hopes, not your fears.

Spontaneous change is awesome as long as it comes from the right place inside you. Movement from your intuitive, happy place is well-starred this week, while moody reactiveness will get you in a heap of trouble.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

You are poised to make a deep, important change this week. Commit to moving forward and not letting habit or the fear of change dictate your future. Boldly make your own fortune!

You don't need to know how you're going to get it done, but you do need to commit to trying. This week will test your resolve to make good on some changes you're trying to execute, Aries. Set yourself up for success by putting yourself into situations you can handle, even if that means moving slower than you'd prefer.

Remove either/or thinking from your mind. You are on call to see things creatively this week by searching for the potential inherent in them. When you see a wall, feel around and you just might find that it's actually a door.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Make direct communication your BFF this week. By overcoming ambiguities, you will have more peace and less confusion! You will also have to be more responsible. The trade-off will be worth it, Taurus.

There may be some loss that you're dealing with, or one that's brewing. Create closure this week with what was and inject life into your hopes for what can be. Release attachments in exchange for a better year.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Forget making a mad dash to this years' finish line with everything all tidily packaged up. Reflect on where you have happiness in your life and where you need it — and then bring that wisdom with you into 2011.

Take inspiration from the folks you most respect, Aries. Your relationships are poised for major growth, and if you are not growing then your connections are inherently limited. Be your best self this week.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Projecting into the future is a big, stressful waste of time. Deal with what you know in the present, because it's the best way to protect what has yet to come. Promote freedom by creating what you want, not by avoiding your fears.Read more »

Your most annoying struggles are trying to teach you something about the nature of compromise. There is a way to make compromises that aren't actually compromising, but it takes care and foresight. Get to it.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Trying to change the past will get you in some demoralizing situations. Things are changing, and it's necessary that you find peace in who you are and where you're at right now.

There is no way out without going through it, Aries. Pair your desire for better circumstances with a willingness to do the work on yourself that's needed. Don't go for easy, go for real.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

You've been making things happen and now it's time to sit back and reexamine things. Reacquaint yourself with your relationships and investments to make sure you're still pointed in the direction you wanna go.
